For starters, the registration process probably needs to be changed. Dayspring posted somewhere how to add questions to help keep the bots out. I did it to BEO and we have been golden since.

I think the same happened to other forums when switching to a newer VB platform

Takes a while to plug gaps in the security

We'll be getting hit with adverts for Viagra, incontinence pants and breast implants next
